You can also transfer an image to soft block by ironing it with a warm iron and light pressure. Test your material first.
You can transfer an image from a newspaper clipping by placing it face down on the carving material and simply rubbing with a bone folder or similar tool to move some of the ink from the newsprint onto the surface of the material.
If you don't have confidence in your ability to draw something freehand, you can lay tracing paper over an image (copyright free of course!) and using a #2 pencil, trace the image. Then flip the tracing face down on your carving material and rub the back of the tracing to transfer the pencil lines to the soft block.
